I don't think It'll replace the diesel, I suspect it'll be a thechnical full-blown creeker, probably with a rounded hull, very high volume boat, for steep creeks etc, while the diesel is a flat hull, river-running creeker, for big water rather than the tight technical stuff. This is what LL (Huck and Jefe), Dagger (Mamba and Nomad), Dragorossi (Mafia, Critical Mass) and Riot (Sniper and Magnum) have anyway. The diesel is waaaaaaaaaaaay to popular to replace yey I'd say!

Lookin forward to it though, the latest WS boats have been pretty slick!

One of the guys who is putting the main input in it lives about 2 miles from my house. WS is actually building I think 6 new boats.

They are building an awsome new river-runner in 3 sizes. It looks so sweet it's not even funny. I know that he loves the kendo. Looks to me like a cross between a kendo, RPM and WS X. Looks great for light creeking and enjoying rivers. It really looks sweet. I've only seen the M size, I would want the S. None of the S wavesport paddlers live near me.

Now for the creeker. From what I understand the creekers will be fast, like a nomad and a hero. One of the creekers is pure extreme race. It's gonna be a better Hero. One of the creekers is going to be geared towrds the Diesel 65 crowd and maybe a bit smaller. I guess the other creeker is just a larger one, didn't ask cause it doesn't apply to me.

I think Corran is right. Longer creekboats are better. I have not bought a creeker because I want one that is at least 8 feet. I have been told that the WS creekers will answer my prayers. I probaly am not completly correct, but that is what I understand. Also, I'm expecting them to miss their deadline. From what I understand, they are not that far yet and I know they wouldn't put out an unfinished product. If anyone here is wanting a creeker, I would wait because I think a real winner is coming out!!
